The Second Century Fund was established to commemorate the 100th year anniversary of the American Educational Research Association. This Fund is dedicated to the support of AERA programmatic activities—now and for the future.

American Educational Research Association (AERA) promotes the use of rigorous education research and data to address the most pressing challenges in education. Our programs and initiatives build capacity for high quality research that can be used to improve education. They also ensure a sustained and effective voice for education research in the policy-making process.

Please contribute as generously as you can. Every dollar counts in AERA’s undertaking programs and initiatives that advance excellence in the field of education research and the sound use of education research in policy, practice, and public spheres.
